Objectives: This study assessed antimicrobial stewardship (AMS) and infection prevention (IP) interventions targeting healthcare-associated and carbapenem-resistant (CRKP) infections, their key outcomes and the application of behaviour change principles in these interventions.
Design: This scoping review was conducted in accordance with Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) guidelines while focusing on acute healthcare settings in both low-to-middle income and high-income countries.
Data Sources: The databases searched were MEDLINE, PubMed, Web of Science and CINAHL between 22 April 2020 and 30 September 2020.
Background: Cervical cancer ranks fourth amongst the commonest malignancies worldwide and the second most prevalent cancer afflicting women in low-to-middle income countries (LMICs), hence, of great public health importance. LMICs are the most affected regions as evidenced by their high prevalence of the disease. Mortality associated with cervical neoplasms is preventable through the implementation of recommended preventive approaches.
